Chapter 1: Host System
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
Wang Yu has always believed that if one lives well, it is a good era; if one lives poorly, it is a bad era.
When he was doing well, he once promised Aunt Lin at the children's welfare institute that he would be a good person from then on, do honest work, and marry a good wife... As a result, his life got worse and worse.
Wang Yu grew up in an orphanage since childhood, and Lin Auntie was like a mother to him. Therefore, no matter how bad things got, he never complained.
He has been graduated from Linjiang City Agricultural University of Science and Technology for half a year, but he still hasn't found a formal job. If he can't find a job, he will consider going back to his old business. As long as one can survive, everything else is secondary.
"Why did I study veterinary medicine in the first place... Now it's all good, can't even find a job that matches my major, and even sales companies think I'm not professional enough!"
Wang Yu wiped away the sweat from his forehead and walked into People's Square, wanting to take a rest on a chair before continuing his job search in the afternoon.
The warm sunshine of spring filled the air, the square was crowded with people, and there were no empty seats left. He had to sit on the stone steps, sorting through the documents in his backpack.
Apart from resumes, there were also some small ads for hotels recruiting male and female PRs, which were forced into my hands while looking for a job on the street. At that time, I couldn't find a trash can, so I had to put them in my bag temporarily.
"Damn it, I haven't been a bad guy for many years, and even if things are tough, I won't be a pushover! Hmm... 15,000 yuan per month, plus commission... or work for two months first and pay off the rent you owe?" Wang Yu narrowed his eyes, seemingly tempted. However, in that moment of temptation, he had already torn the small advertisement into pieces, crumpled it up, and thrown it into the nearby trash can.
Wang Yu's figure and appearance are quite good, otherwise she wouldn't have received over a dozen business cards from men.
A pair of eyes, clear and bright, especially when smiling, always makes people feel sincere and trustworthy, if needed, even with a hint of shyness.
This smile, whoever sees it, will give him the label of "good person", sometimes even he himself wants to stick on his forehead labels such as "pure", "honest", "kind" and "reliable".
"With my appearance and education, how can I not find a job? Forget it, from now on I'll only apply for sales or security jobs. Yesterday, I even applied for a cleaning position, who let them offer such a high salary? It's some foreign company called Sheng's Advertising..."
Wang Yu Zheng was lost in thought, when he suddenly noticed that the sky had darkened and a few black clouds were drifting over, blocking out the sunlight. It seemed like it was going to rain, so people flying kites on the square quickly reeled them in. People playing also scrambled to find shelter from the rain. Patter, patter... tiny raindrops began falling, while just a few meters away from Wang Yu's right side stood a little girl of six or seven years old, seemingly oblivious and still excitedly playing with her kite.
"Little sister, what's your name? On a rainy day there might be thunder, flying a kite is dangerous, hurry up and give it to me, brother will help you reel it in. Be good and listen, I have candy for you!" Wang Yu ran over and said to the little girl.
The little girl looked lovely, with a delicate complexion and snow-white skin. Her fine hair was curled naturally and had been wet by the rain. She was still excitedly playing with her kite, and responded to Wang Yu's question with some annoyance: "Oh, big brother, you're so annoying! I won't tell you my name is Xuanxuan. It's not easy for me to come out and fly a kite, and even my mom doesn't care about me, why do you care?"
Just then, there was a loud clap of thunder in the sky.
The loud noise frightened Xuanxuan, her small body shook violently, and she tightly hugged the kite string, crying out: "Mom..."
The people around were in a commotion, but still there was no sign of the little girl's mother.
Wang Yu was shocked to see a bright lightning bolt strike the kite, and the red electric light slowly spread down the wet kite string, almost reaching the little girl's hand.
Is there such a slow lightning?
"Let go quickly!" Wang Yu didn't have time to think much, and loudly shouted, roughly snatching the kite string from the little girl's hand. Just as he was about to throw it away, he felt a numbness all over his body, his hair and sweat standing on end, and smelled a burning smell in his nose.
Rumble!
After Wang Yu fell to the ground with a thud, he heard the thunder produced by the lightning. Amidst the thunder, there was also the sound of a little girl's terrified wails.
Consciousness gradually blurred, as if falling into a piece of darkness.
"Waaah, my little white dog is dead! Brother Yu, from now on you should become a famous veterinarian, okay? That way if Little White gets sick again, we won't have to worry about not having money to treat it..."
"Brother Yu, you're really good to me... Can I be your bride in the future? Hehe, let's make a pact, one hundred years no changing..."
"Brother Fei, I don't want to go to America, I don't want to leave the orphanage, I will miss you..."
"Brother Yu, wait for me, I will definitely come back to see you..."
Wang Yu was in a coma, and seemed to have heard that familiar voice, but no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't open his eyes, couldn't see the light, and even more so, couldn't see that slender figure he had been longing for.
Ding!
A sudden, crisp sound echoed in his mind, followed by a mechanical female voice saying: "Master System installation complete, version 1.0. Requires binding with the master's soul to use normally. Bind now?"
A dialogue box appeared in Wang Yu's mind, with "Yes" on the left and "No" on the right, just like a Windows operating interface.
"This...this..." Wang Yu was disturbed and his mind was not at peace, his consciousness gradually cleared up, his consciousness swept over the dialogue box, like a mouse, clicked "yes" on the button.
Binding, please wait...
"Congratulations, binding successful! Your feeder number is 606, please refer to the help file for specific operations!"
"This... this is..." Wang Yu's consciousness awakened, but his body couldn't move, and his eyes couldn't open. However, in his mind, he could see a strange software interface that looked similar to the commonly used QQ software.
The software interface has four columns: "My Friends", "My Pets", "Strangers" and "Blacklist".
There are many names in the stranger list, each name has a real avatar like a photo in front of it, and the other three columns are empty.
Wang Yu thought that he must have been struck by lightning and had his brain damaged, otherwise how could such an illusion appear. He pulled out his personal data, which read:
Feeder's Name: Wang Yu

"It's just an illusion, it must be! Don't rush, think calmly for a moment... where is the time machine? As long as I go back to before being struck by lightning, everything will return to normal."
After a long time, Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh: "No time machine, only the feeding system, what kind of ghost thing is this?"
Since his body couldn't move, and there was only this software-like thing in his mind, Wang Yu could only keep flipping through it. In the "Strangers" column, he saw countless portraits slowly moving, and the one closest to him was none other than little girl Xuanxuan.
Wang Yu tapped on the little girl's head icon with his consciousness, and a data dialogue box popped up.

Current mood: Mom, where are you? There's a bad uncle who took my kite, so I was struck by lightning and died... Xuanxuan is so scared, waaahhh...

Requires kindness value: 42
Is it caught as a pet?
Yes No
(Note: Each time a capture fails, the capture success rate will decrease by 1%, and it will be automatically added to "My Friends" column for future capture.)
Wang Yuxin's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed in shock: "Treating people as pets to capture? This is too evil! Is this the true purpose of the Master System? But this little girl is too detestable, actually calling me 'weird uncle' in her heart!"
Is there such a handsome weird uncle? Is there such a kind and pure weird uncle?
He may have been too shocked or it was intentional, his consciousness shook and he nodded.
Ding! The breeder system sent a crisp prompt tone.
Capture successful, Xuanxuan has become your pet! Right-click on the pet icon to view the pet's detailed information.
Love value - 42 Life value - 1
【You have obtained a pet, affection limit +1】
Wang Yu was stunned on the spot, love points were deducted, but why did they have to deduct life points?! Even if he was foolish, he understood that life points meant life, and a deduction of 1 meant living one year less. Upon checking his data, his life points had indeed decreased to 91, which was slightly lower than before. The love points column also changed to 58/101.
"This... taking in a little loli, I'd lose a year of my life, it's not worth it!" Wang Yu wailed inwardly.
There was a prompt tone just now, saying that I can view the help file, where is the help file?
Wang Yu suddenly felt a surge of energy and realized that his body could move again. His eyelids fluttered open to reveal a faint light.
In front of me, a little girl named Xuanxuan was squatting on the ground crying pitifully, with mud splattered on her face. A circle of people stood around, but no one dared to approach, except for a few kind-hearted women who were calling 120 nearby.
Just then, a beautiful young woman in a black miniskirt rushed into the crowd and anxiously shouted: "Xuan Xuan... are you okay?"
Xuanxuan turned her head and saw her mother appear, crying out: "Li Xueying, am I really your daughter? Why did you abandon me and leave me alone? Waaahhh..."
At the angle at which Wang Yu was lying down, a slender beautiful leg could be seen, wearing black stockings and red high heels. The front and back were intertwined, rushing to arrive. The towering chest rose and fell in the urgent run. Due to anxiety, the red high heels splashed out small water flowers, rushing all the way to Xuanxuan's side, squatting with both legs, and hugging her in his arms.
Due to her half-squatting position, the woman's most sensual legs were spread open in front of Wang Yu, revealing a glimpse of the mysterious scenery under her skirt.
Wang Yu only felt a gust of fragrant wind coming, and he couldn't resist the temptation of the beautiful woman. His eyes were fixed on the black lace panties that were right in front of him, which were actually hollowed out, revealing the deepest layer of colorful contours.
Apart from sexy, it's still sexy...
"How can you walk in front of me like that? And so thoroughly! Humph, I hate it when others tempt me, because I'm the one who can't resist temptation!" Wang Yu took a deep breath, trying to suppress his bodily excitement, but with one sniff, he was filled with the scent of beautiful young women, and the double stimulation of flesh and fragrance made him instantly pitch a small tent.
Wang Yu didn't want to lose face in front of everyone, so he hastily got up from the ground, covering his crotch area awkwardly.
"Ah! How did you survive?" The beautiful woman exclaimed, clearly not expecting Wang Yu to wake up automatically. Because earlier many people nearby were discussing that Wang Yu was struck by lightning and had stopped breathing for a long time, he should have been dead or at least lost half his life, how could he wake up in just a few short minutes?
Xuan Xuan shouted angrily: "Master, you're awake... Who let you snatch my kite, serves you right to be struck by lightning!"
"Xuan Xuan, what did you call him?" The beautiful young woman's eyes widened, her slender body trembling, almost falling to the ground.
